Too many people complaining and then people buying.
Get it under control. Don't buy the flips. That simple. Not sure it could be anymore clear than that.
I roll my eyes, and laugh, and then feel mad because we see these flipper prices, then complain about it in every forum and thread. But they still get bought. The FOMO in this space is ridiculous. If we (collectively) don't want the prices to continue like this, then we (collectively) need to not buy them at such "unreasonable" prices. (isn't capitalism grand? I say "unreasonable" because it's worth "what someone is willing to pay")
Ok, that is all. GO PINBALL!
This is like telling a manic depressive to "just cheer up!"
Your heart is in the right place but it's kind of pointless. Obviously, plenty of people care more about obtaining a game they want than they do about discouraging flipping. You can do your part by never paying a cent over face for a pinball machine, but expecting others to behave the same way is a waste of time and energy.
On the plus side, we have the makings of yet another two-digit page pinball pricing thread!
YAY!
